Fighting Poverty at Continental Scale: Develop AI models to Map Informal Settlements across LAC
This Technical Cooperation (TC) aims to develop a standardized Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based methodology and evaluate its efficacy as a tool for mapping all informal settlements across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), assess their climate vulnerability, and guide remediation efforts. By automating the identification of informal settlements using satellite imagery and neural networks, the project will improve public service delivery and environmental safety, which is crucial to spurring economic growth by improving health, productivity, and overall quality of life in underserved communities. The methodology will be open and standardized, designed to be scaled globally by leveraging advanced AI technologies and insights from similar global initiatives - such as the European Space Agency-funded IDE Atlas project and the United Nations Innovation Technology Accelerator for Cities (UNITAC).
